[quote=Anonymous]You need a set up that has as few barriers ot exercise as possible if you want to realistically add it to you day. I have a peloton bike, a mat and weights in my basement. I dress in workout clothes to bring my kids to school and eat a snack/drink water on the way. I get home at 8:30am and 3-5 times per week, I do a 45 min work out then take a shower and start my day. I do peloton programs so I don't need to think about what class I'm taking. If I have an extra 5 minutes, I add a stretch or core. If I have an earlier work call or something, I just know I need to do the workout a different day. On weekends, I try to get a longer workout in if I can.

If I'm dragging a$$ because my kids were up overnight or something, I try to push myself to at workout but I also don't give myself a hard time if it's not going to happen. But I will say, exercise begets more exercise because you have more energy and as you start to see/feel the results, you want to keep pushing. Most importantly, give yourself grace and be optimistic. Maybe the next chapter of your life is the one where you get in kickass shape? You never know![/quote]
